Comment Re:I wonder how long true watches will last as lux (Score 1) 109

High-end watches are not fashion.

What is a fashion watch? Image result for fashion watches “Fashion watch” is a derogatory name for any watch made from a brand that: Is mostly known for selling other types of fashion accessories or clothes. Aims to sell rather cheap timepieces at a higher than average price.

High-end watches Patek, AP, VC, and Rolex are luxury items. ie jewelry. Their price is based on prestige, exclusivity, desirability, etc. Speculators are losing big time. Real collectors are not.

Comment Re:We lost the streaming war? (Score 1) 27

"we actually get more content, however we are now paying a lot more for streaming services." In many cases this is not correct. Let me explain my POV. It is much better for studios to have their own channel, I can vote with my $$$ when they put shows I'm interested in their platform and in the same way cancel the service when they stop having things I have interest in watching. This is the case with Paramount+. I'm paying for it to watch ST Discovery and Picard, that's it, As I have done for the last 3 years, When a season ends If they don't have anything for me I cancel. I do pay Disney+ because i have 3 small kids at home that are heavy users of Netflix and Disney+. I do not watch sports and all those streaming services get $0, from me. Paramount knows, Me and many others only pay to watch Discovery and they will know ending it without a good replacement means lost of revenue.

Comment Should I take pfizer? (JNJ recipient) (Score 1) 407

My wife and I got Jhonson & Jhonson, back on March 10, There is little information about this "boosting" JNJ and with what vaccine, What do you geeks think about getting a shot of Pfizer? Yayi or Nay?. A biologist told me Pfizer is updated frequently with the latest COVID strains, I'm doubting is getting updates because that will require gov approvals.

Comment Re:Good for them! (Score 1) 63

I live in the SF Bay area, Love fishing and the outdoors. Salmon, delta smelt populations are precarious dwindling; mostly because of large amounts of water that are diverted for Southern California, in some places, water now flows inland from the ocean/bay. Population sprawl in Southern California is threatening one of the largest ecosystems we have. Is frustrating every time I hear LA complaining about lack of water and the solution is always to get more water from somewhere else, They need to build local capacity (desalination).

Comment Shorter life spawn for nature is acceptable. (Score 2, Insightful) 74

Give a chance to nature and it will flourish. For us Humans living on a radioactive area were we die from painful cancer, is not acceptable, On the other side for Nature where animals tend to die from been eaten over old age more often than not; living on a radioactive environment is a good compromise. I read there are all kinds of animals doing very good in Chernobyl.

Make everything available on fewer platforms and price correctly, movies first are for Sale only, then high price rental. Stop playing games and let me rent at a fair price.
